23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Avenue Roume in Dakar, the capital city of French West Africa, during the 1910s. The image shows two Senegalese men, dressed in traditional African garb, walking confidently along the avenue, surrounded by the vibrant energy of the urban environment. The Avenue Roume, now known as Avenue de la République, was one of the main thoroughfares of Dakar during the colonial era. It was named after Louis Roume, a French colonial administrator who played a significant role in the development of the city. The street is lined with European-style buildings, including the imposing City Hall, which can be seen in the background. The men's casual demeanor and the lively interaction between them and their surroundings convey a sense of everyday life in this diverse and cosmopolitan city. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural history of Dakar and its people during a pivotal period in African history.
